Trouble with Aliens

Dusk settled across the Air Force Base and soon it would be dark.

Tommy played outside with his brand new tricycle. Mom washed up the evening dishes, while Dad read the sport section of that day’s Bee.

Suddenly, a child’s scream echoed through the house and each parent was quick to respond, recognizing it as that of their only child. Both raced to find the child before it was too late.

But they were too late. They only had time enough to witness Tommy’s trike lift and disappear into the belly of the alien spacecraft, before the UFO sped away.
